Only if you have to take off from the Marianas and fly to Japan every time you use it.

Many threads on this.  Do a search and you'll have more inputs than a B-29 has rivets.

you really want to see that large bomber as 200 perks and it gets shot down by Me163 with 1 30mm ping.

Not sure about it......

From my exprerience of Ar234 raids to HQ:
I've did lots of sorties in 234 to HQ.
  • Each time I get to HQ at altitude of 14-16K
  • Each time one or (sometimes 2) Me163 lanched to intersept me
  • Each time they get on my 6......
  • Each time they were deadly aftraid of 2 rear 20mm :lol. Yes, they did.
  • Each time they didn't manage to make a single hit on me.
  • Each time they RTB with nothing due lack of fuel.
  • Each time I safly get home


About b-29
  • Of course B-29 is slower but it still flyes very high and has very good speed.
  • Most of chances it will be hard to get easy to it - or when you get you will be very short on fuel.
  • Most of chances that it will be very hard to get close in order to put your 30mm rounds because of heavy fire
  • Most of chances that 1-2 rounds is not enough
  • You will not be able to continue long fight because of lack of fuel and high speed/altitude of B-29

this is only in the pacific theater... if we talk about the PAC, then there are other planes that is needed... Jester has mentioned that already.

Well, I would like to see another perk bomber though...
